Written by: Fritz Purdum

Boys

boys are joy
boys are sons
boys are little men
boys are just boys

the world needs boys
to tempt a young girls heart
to dream of adventures grand
to play the games of youth
to grow into men

    little puppies need boys
    they are dog's best friend
    all the toys need boys
    who would break them

    angels need boys
    so easy to win their wings
    songs need boys
    so many songs to sing

    fathers need boys
    their name is in their sons
    mothers need boys
    their love is never done

   fun needs boys
   who else can so readily play
   night needs boys
   to dream of a brand new day

   hope needs boys
   to see the future new
   courage needs boys
   to test fate true

    sisters need boys
    to be big and baby brothers
    boys need boys
    to worry loving mothers

    laughter needs boys
    to make God smile
    tears need boys
    to hide within a scowl

   pride needs boys
   to boast so loud
   shame needs boys
   to forgive somehow

   mischief needs boys
   secrets to uncover
   love needs boys
   what innocence will discover

  chores need boys
  to go undone
  games need boys
  to have fun

    time needs boys
    to grow into men
    men need boys
    to be the boy within

snakes snails and puppy dog tails
sons brothers friends
the world needs boys
to keep it young
to keep it fun
boys are boys
